Waterfall, waterfall, waterfall, waterfall? No matter what you call it, it doesn’t matter what you photograph it. Are you ready for the challenge?
Every week I will propose a new challenge, it is a topic that you will have to capture in photo and upload it to the Facebook page of the blog by putting in the description the keyword that I will indicate for each topic. Topics range from portraits to macrophotography, landscapes, black-and-white photography, or babies. On Fridays topics will be offered, so you have the whole weekend to work. You’ll have one week to upload your photo (one photo per participant), until Thursday of the following week. On Thursday I will update the article with the photo that most captivated me and on Friday I propose a new theme so that you have all weekend to capture your images, etc.
- This week.
- I suggest you keep practicing the shooting speed.
- You can use a fast speed to freeze the movement of the water or a slow speed to get a silky effect.
- Depending on what you want to transmit.
- The type of image you want or the conditions.
- Lighting.
- Use one speed or another.
- If there is too much light.
- For example.
- It will be difficult to get a well exposed image at a slow speed unless you use an appropriate filter.
But you can read all this in article 11 Tips for photographing stunning stunts, which I recommend you read if you want to save yourself work (and hassle) in front of the waterfall, it is better to dedicate yourself to enjoy and make a good composition, instead of fighting with the technical details. You can also find a good dose of inspiration (as here). Enjoy the beauty of the waterfall and let us enjoy the beauty of your photograph because always remember that a landscape photograph, being really beautiful, you should not fail to capture what you see, this will never be possible (reality will always far exceed a two-dimensional and small image). You will have to create your own landscape, create beauty from what your eyes see. If you do that, you have a great picture.
As usual, to participate in this week’s challenge, take your photo to the Facebook wall of the photographer’s blog: In the photo description, mention the keyword?Waterfall Challenge? Followed by a title of your choice.
For those who are not from Facebook, I have enabled the participation of new social networks.
Good picture
How many places you sent us! A thousand times thank you for your participation and for your photographic effort in one more week You are the best readers on the Web!Here’s a little rundown of everything you’ve contributed, you’ll love:
Some days you insist on making it difficult for yourself, huh? It’s hard for me to choose from so many amazing photos, but only one can stand out, so I get wet like I’m in the same waterfall stream. This week I highlight “Río de la Miel” by Arancha Cortés. A technically flawless image in terms of sharpness, focus and perfect exposure. It shows at first glance. And when it comes to composition, where everyone can do their own reading, I will say that I like the low point of view that its author used. I feel like I’m sitting on a rock right there watching the water fall. In an image that at first glance may seem chaotic, you come across a geometric figure. The turquoise water, in addition to contrasting with the brown tones of the rest of the image, forms a rhombus, in this way, the center of interest is highlighted by the contrast of colors, by the geometric figure well recognized by the brain and starting from a point of interest according to the rule of thirds. The photograph gives a great sense of depth by having included the rocks in the foreground, which following a diagonal guide you towards the waterfall in the background. A magnificent photo, without a doubt. Congratulations Arancha!
